GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS
nF o r a ll c o rd c o n n e c te d a p p lia n c e s :
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
W ARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. C onsult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt ex ists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
D o not use an ex tension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
